<font color="#000000">The EventTagger command runs the Ace event
tagger in diagnostic mode, with entities and values taken from an input
APF file. It reads in the information from the input APF (in <span

input file, generates a new set of events using the Jet event tagger,
and writes a new APF file (inn <span style="font-style: italic;">outDir</span>)
